Any time some one talks about "Is something the blank ever" it usually isn't and just makes them come off as short sighted/reactionary fakkits :manny:

All the home teams won so of course it was boring and predictable. However the NBA is hoping for Heat vs Thunder again. Imagine a Pacer-Spurs final :heh:

Yes, they should go back to best of five for the first round. The way it works anyway, the one seeds sweeps the eight seeds, while the rest of seeds trolls along to five or six games :troll:

The NBA really needs to go back to best of 5. The extra money isn't worth diluting your product and having people tune out of most games until the 2nd round.

There's little difference.

If a series ends in a 3 game sweep under the old way, or a 4 games sweep now. It's another game, more money, and an opportunity for the lower seed teams fans to at least get a chance to watch their team more than 1 game.


That being said, on paper, these matchups seem like they'd be good series, but once you watch 5 mins of action you see that's not the case.

You also lost one of your best players. Giving you rebounding and a legit scoring option. That just made it possibly a 5 game series.

Chuck said we didn't have a chance before the series even started. He also said he's not sure Steph is the best shooter on our team so that shows his BBIQ.

They need to just eliminate conferences when the playoffs start. It should be the best 16 teams make it conference be damned.

with the tv schedule though that one extra game drags out the series way too long. I wouldn't really have an issue with it if things were like the old days when the league didn't mind showing 2 games at once on TNT/TBS and followed a normal "day off in between/2 days in between for travel" schedule, but with 2 and 3 days off for this made for tv schedule, having an extra game for a series that is a mere formality just needlesly stretches things out. Then God forbid a bottom team steal a game like the Heat/Sixers a couple years ago...

Dont we want to see a lesser seed team steal a game or two?
You never know what could happen after that.

But I do agree with the stretching out of games. 3 days off in between games is bad. BUT, I also like watching one game at a time as opposed to the old way, like you said, 2 games at once.
